RONEY IYCARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK: -- --- The probable large shipments of gold to the Con tinent is unfavourably influencing the condition of the discount market. Brokers, ever on the alert to take advantage of any opportunity presenting itself to keep up quotation; are now charging 5 per cent. for the best bills. Had it not been for this specie movement, the rates for accommodation would no doubt have descended nearly per cent. The Mexican dollars, by the last packet, have been sold at 5s 4d per ounce, for China. In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets daring the last few drys there has been rather less animation. Sugars have barely sustained former prices, while tea, owing to the large quintity an nounced for public sale to-day, has been neglected. Rice, fruit, cocoa, and spices have been in very limited request, at about former rates ; while tallow has continued in moderate demand, at steady rates, for both present and future delivery. The directors of the Warrant Finance Company have made a call of £5 per share, payable on the Ist September next. A now large banking establishment for the East has bean announced under the title of the Anglo- Egyptian Bank, with a capital of £2,000,000 in shares of £6O each. The object is to purchase two private banking firms at Alexandria, and also to act in correspondence with the Agra and Mester man's and the General Credit and Finance Com pany of London. The two foreign houses have for Years enjoyed the pecuniary and political advan tage of being the agents for the Viceroy. The principal partners are to be retained as managers of the new concern, and coupled with their immense influence at the seat of operations, together with the large expansion of commerce in this direction, very sanguine hopes are entertained as to the career of this new bank. The chief directors of the Agra and Masterman's Bank and of the General Credit and Finance Company are upon the directory of the bank. Messrs. Hill, Fawcett, and Hill, the brokers, have launched forth the project to the notice of the investing classes, and the shares have already attained a premium of 2 to 3. Two o'CLocK. At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Relates were 66f. 27c. Heavy. The shares of the Robertfors Iron Works Con - pany were in brisk demand today, at 11 to 11 prem. We understand that lists of application for shares will be closed in a few days. The English Stock Market, compared with the decline of j per cent. which took place last evening after business hours, shows no alteration of impor tance. These occasional fluctuations are the conse- 1 quence of the small business now transacted, and the desire to avoid extensive speculation. Consols are 901 and for the account 901 H. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 89 1 I; Exche- et; quer Bills, for June, 5s dis. to par; India 5 per Cents., 1041 i to and ditto 4 per Cents., 994. tc There has been very little activity in th e Foreign 11 II Market, and prices have been rather flatter.

VIENNA, July 16. The news which I yesterday forwarded to you by electric telegraph is thus confirmed by the Wisner Zeitarg of this date VIENNA, 15th July, Evening.—The Danish Government being desirous to have a truce, and to ewer into negotiations for peace, made a ,direct proposition to the Courts of Vienna and Berlin to suspend hostilities by land and by sea• The pro posal of thePanishGovernment has been accepted by Austria and Prussia, and hostilities by land and sea, with abolition of the blockade, will be suspended until the 31st of the present month. The Copen hagen Government has been requested imme diately to send a Plenipotentiary to Vienna, to settle with the Imperial Royal Austrian and Royal Prussian Gjvernments the basis of the future negotiations for peace." A epecial messenger is now on his way from Copenhagen to this city, and I am given to under, stand that hu is the bearer of the Danish proposi- tions for peace, Early in the morning of the 13th inst. Baron Bredon, who is said to be one of the King of Denmark's chamberlains, arrived at Carls• bad, and in the course of the forenoon he had two interviews with the Prussian Premier. In the after ❑oon M. von Biemark and Baron Bredon had a long audience of the King, and as soon as it was at an end the Austrian Government was informed that the Danish Cabinet had asked for a suspension of hostilities. It is here generally believed that Den mark is thoroughly humbled; but her self-suffi ciency and pride must be as great now as they were at the outbreak of the war, for she has not yet relinquished the idea of a personal union between herself and the Duchies. This Government ardently wishes for peace, but I doubt whether it will be satisfied with anything short of the cession of the whole of the Duchy of Schleswig. To all oatward appearance there is now a perfect understanding between Austria and Prussia, but I have had occasion to remark that some of the most influential persons in this city are ill content with the more recent policy of Count Rechberg. In political circles the alliance between the rival Powers is pronounced to be unnatural, and it is confidently predicted that it will not be of long duration. A few days ago some of the members of the Diplo matic Corps chanced to meet in the anteroom of one of the members of the Cabinet, and there one of them, who is renowned for the pungency of his wit, observed that no good could possibly come of the union between the groat German Powers. " The tug-steamer Prussia," said he, "gives the tow-ship Austria such violent jerks that the cranky old vessel is in danger of going to pieces." It is said that King Christian of Denmark has addressed auto graph letters to the Emperor of Austria and to the King of Prussia; and it is probable that such really is the case, as a person attached to this Court yes terday expressed his surprise that the bearer " of such an important document" should tarry so long on the way. Although so much has been said and written on the subject, it is not positively known whether Prince John of Glucksbnrg has been in Berlin and Carlsbad, but certain it is that he has passed through Brussels. While there he had an interview with the King of the Belgains, and it must be supposed that ho claimed his Majesty's good offices, for shortly afterwards a special mes senger was sent off to Carlsbad. It is not in my power to guarantee the correctness of the informa. tion contained in the foregoing sentence, but it is likely to be correct, as it was acquired at a very good source. The proposed harsh treatment of the Swedes who were captured at Alsen led to a very warm correspondence between the Berlin and Vienna Governments. Prince Frederic Charles of Prussia would fain have had the Swedish officers ,ried by court-martial, although he was aware that they were enrolled in the Danish army ; but Count Rechberg formally protested against such an illegal proceeding. From time immemorial foreigners have served in the Imperial army, and they have always been treated like native Austrians when they have chance to be taken prisoners. The Prussian Army List will assuredly show that very many persons who are not subjects of King William I. are now doing military service under his coloura. There is a great coolness between Austria and the Secondary German Powers, and the Vaterland, which ie to Austria what the ICreutz Zeitung is to Prussia, takes care that the fact shall be known to the world at large. The Vaterland professes to be a highly Conservative paper, but during the last few days it has repeatedly hinted that there will be no peace in Germany until Austria and Prussia have come to an understanding in respect to its division into two parts. On Thurs. day next the German Diet will request the Duke of Augustenburg and the Grand Duke of Oldenburg to lay on the table of the House the documents on which their respective claims to the Duchies are based: As a matter of course, there will be a long and wearisome debate on the question at issue, and the chances are that it will not be broughttto a close until peace has been concluded between Den• mark and the great German Powers.

COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before Sir J. P. Wilde, Judge Ordinary.) CLO WES V. CLOWES AND MORRIS-JUDGME NT . Sir J. P. Wilde delivered judgment in this case. He said the question which the Court had to consider was, whether a delay in instituting the suit disentitled the hus band, who was the petitioner, to a divorce according to the 31st section of the Divorce Act, which vested a discretion in the Court in witZtholding the relief prayed for, if it thought fit, on the ground co: delay. In this case, the husband had obtained a decree a menss't et there, which showed that he was not indifferent or insensble to his wife's misconduct, and therefore he considered that he was entitled to his decree nisi, which he accordingly ppaounced. There were no cysts asked for. coura of BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Gouiburn.) IN RE THOS. LLOYD. This bankrupt was formerly a captain in the army, and now came up to apply for release from custody on pro ducing bail—Lwo sureties in £lOO each. Mr Sargood opposed. He said that as the case properly belonged to Mr Commissioner Holroyd (now absent on his vacation), it would be necessary to give au outline of the facts. The bankrupt first came before the court in July, 1862, in forma pauperis, and got his release from custody, and the examination meeting was appointed for Septem • ber, 1862, but the bankrupt had filed no accounts but ob tained a further adjournment till January, 1863, when he was adj•iurned sine die. In Jane 1863 he filed his accounts, but there were no assets, and the bankrupt did not apply to be heard, although he had no protection. He was after wards sued by the detaining creditor, who obtained judg ment and execution against him, but they did not succeed ap plied for his release, to Mr. Commissioner Holroyd for a eecon d time, but his Honour refused to grant the applica tionin arresting him until May of the present year, when he except in the ordinary course of bankruptcy, and he was subsequently ordered to file a cash and deficiency ac count, and his release was granted on his giving bail as SECOND EDITIO N.

Mr Durrand said he did not, but he took his instructions from Mr Abbey, an accountant. Mr Sargood said that in the case of one of the bail the creditors had found that there was no such person as de scribed ; it was a groat injuetice to creditors to be harassed by these applications, and asked for costs, His Honour doubted his power toaward costs in a forma pauperis case, but he would remand the bankrupt, and would not hear ,any further application unless the costs had been previously made. IN RE IVALLAND. This was a judgment summons- The opposing creditor was a solicitor, who sued for costs and got £2.0. The costs were incurred in obtaining a free pardon for the bankrupt after conviction, but between the time he wan committed and the time ho was convicted he had assigned all his pro perty. His, Honour made an order for the payment of lOs a week. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH - STREET. THE UNFORTUNATE AND HER OPPRES6OR. —John Calagher, a young man, was charged with violently as saulting a young woman, an unfortunate, named Selina Baker. The prosecutrix, who lived with the.prisoner at No, 3, Porter-street, said—l have kept the prisoner for three years by my prostitution, and because I did not give him money enough yesterday he brutally treated me. I had got nearly S 5 last week for him. He said—" You --if you do not get me the money I want tak e that," and gave me a violent kick in the face, disfiguring it as you see and injuring my sight. I was smothered with blood. [The prosecutor's face was badly contused.] I afterwards went into the Haymarket, when he again assaulted me. My body is covered with bruises. . . vv Margaret Mack, a delicate -looking child, whose voice could scarcely be heard, said—l live in the name house and saw the prisoner kick and strike the prosecutrix while she was sitting on the bed. Prmecutrix—The police know that I walk the Haymarket to keep the prisoner. A constable proved taking the prisoner into custody, and said the prosecutrix was then sober. The prisoner--I am sorry I have wasted all my better feelings on such a woman. She has only kept me when I have been out of work. Mr Tyrwhitt—You are a base ungrateful wretch. You talk of your " better feelings," and yet kick the prosecutrix about till she presents the appearance she now does. I shall commit you for three months with hard labour. THAMES. BLOCK IN A NARROW LlNE.—Edgar Button of No. 34, Brook-street, Rateliff, and in the service of Mr Edward Charles Hood, coal merchant of the same place, and John Bradford, of the Mile-end-road, appeared before Mr Paget to answer two summonses, which charged the first with having a certain van with three horses, and the other with having a certain van with one horse, to stand longer than was necessary for loading and unloading in a certain tho roughfare called Bancroft-place, Mile-end-road, on the 4th of the present month. Inspector Hayes, of the K division of police, said he preferred this complaint because a public thoroughfare had been obstructed for one hour by the perverse conduct of the two complainants. They met in the lane with their teams proceeding in opposite directions. The place was too nar row for one to pass the other. Neither would turn back, and remained in the lane wrangling, until a police con stable backed Mr Hood's team and allowed the other to pass. Bradford said he was 51 yards up the lane, Button was only 19, and he was confirmed in this by Edward Pundle, es-beadle of he hamlet of Rateliff, who said Mr Hood's man was decidedly in fault, because if he had backed he would have done so down hill. Bradford must have backed up hill. Mr Paget thought Button ought to havo backed and let the other forward. It wae easier to back down hilt than to back up hill. Button—l had three horses to back and Bradford only one• It was easier to back one horse than three. 11Ir Paget—l don't know that; he was further down the lane than you, Button—Well, sir, I think both of us were in fault. Mr Charles Young, Solicitor , said this case reminded hi m of an anecdote he had read in a work published a century ago. Two persons, each driving a horse and chaise, met in a narrow lane. One. a Quaker, politely asked the other , a L on d o n swell, to turn b ack, and let him procee d. " I w ill see your neck stretched b e f ore I w ill d o anything of the kind," said the swell. "Then, I cannot stay here, friend," said the Quaker. The swell took a newspaper. and be gan to read it. The Quaker lit his pipe, began smoking, and said, "Friend, when thou hest done with that paper, I will thank thee to let me peruse it.v, The swell was defeated by his ad versatl'a coolness, uttered a f e w oaths, backed to the end of the lane, and all owed the Quaker to procee d . Mr Paget said the defendants were a pair of obstinate febows, each endeavouring to wear out the other's patience, and blocking up a public thoroughfare for an hour. Button was the most to blame, a n d Gil only, and 2useefloneetsd, him 2s 6d and 2s costs, an d Bradford WESTMINSTER. EFLusr,-.....Wi11iam Grearson, a fellow a ppearance and muscular proportions, was charged under the following : circumstances : Mary Anne Grearson, a woman between GO and 70 years old, said—The defendant, 1 era very sorry to tell your is my eldest son, y r worship, of AforTbrid!odninor it RI: es there and He does not live with me. I occupy a house in Camera-stre e t , y an ea d r threatens and annoys me, which I have had for 13 Mr Selfe—What is his reas on t The Mother —He comas for money, and if I wont supply him he iil-uses ma. Mr Selfe—What are your uleats of subsistence ? i s il a :t ii r d eat h s e m co e nl . The Mother -1 kee p a little shop, and get my living by needlework. When my son Can home last night he asked for a jug, and said he wanted beer. I told him I could not give it him, but he insisted on having a jug, and then coming toward me struck me a violent blow in the mouth, which loosened my tee th alid cut my lip s . I bled very much. The neighbours interfered for me and took him into custody, and he now threatens to murder me directly I come in his way. Mr Selfe—Has he often ill treated you ? The Mother—often; and he also ill treated his poor, in firm father shortly before his death, and has been sent to prison for twelve months for his v:olence to me. He has been going on in this way for years, and comes to me for beer or money, poor as I am, every t h ree weeks. A young woman who was present confirmed the poor woman's account of the assault. She declared it was per fectly unprovoked and brutal. Alfred Randall, 385 B, said that when he took the de fendant he threatened him in the most violent way, used tearful and horrible language to his mother, and made two dangerous kicks at witness, with a view of doing him a very serious mischief. Mr Selfe--Did he no any threats at the time he kicked you ? Witness—A sneering threat. Defendant—l only pushed my Mother, I didn't hit her. She'd say anything. I did not attempt to kick the con stable. Mr Selfe—You arc a perfect ruffian, regardless in your ruffianism of the very mother who bore you, and I will see if I cannot prevent you for some time. You are committed for six months, and must find bail for six months' more, and be thankful I cannot order You to be whipped. A. d.

PETO asked the noble lord (Lord Stanley) when the report of the commissioners on patent laws would be presented to the house. Lord STANLEY said the report had been finally settled, and he had no doubt it would be made in a few days. SUPPLY. Mr MASSEY brought up the report of the committee of supply. On the vote of £2,000 on account of the Ashantee war being read, Sir H. 'WILLOUGHBY wished to know whether the vote of the local expenses of the Ashantee war was not for money which had been already expended. lle should also like to know what the intentions of the Government were with respect to the fawn). He thought it was absolutely necessary that some check should be placed upon colonial governors in granting public money, and it would bs important to know whether the vote now before the house would cover the whole of the Local Government expenses already In curred. Mr. F. FEEL said t he vote properly belonged to the Colonial .office, and in the absence of his hon. friend, the under secretary for that department, he could not give a positive answer on the subject. He believed that the vote was to cover expenses already occurred. Governors of co lonies could not, excep t in important and exceptional cases, pay advances from the Treasury chest. The report was then agreed to. W.A.7S AND MEANS. Mr. MASSEY brought up the report, which was agreed to. ARMY AND NAVY EXPENDITURE. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY made several objections to the a mauner in which the army department was conducted in reference to our estimates. Mr CIIILDERS entered into some detail in reference to the navy expenditure. The estimates had been increased by two causes; first, by the transport of troops to Canada; and, secondly, by the New Zealand war, Gen. PEEL thought the excess of the estimates was unavoidable.

It applied to Chatham, Portsmouth , Plymouth, Cob:hosier, and other places, and if it referred Business done 1021 103 i 2i 31 29i 28 103 i 12i 21 luOt to soldiers he should have no objection to it. The bill pro vided for informations without oath, and was of a very in quisitorial character. He thought that such a bill should not pars without further evidence and investigation. He could only characterise the VII as one for the propa gation of immorality and vice. He....l . ‘92:ight it disgraceful on the part of the authorities or the army and navy to be obliged to introduce this measure, which was, in effect, one to make the wants of the army supepiir to the law of the land. Sir M. PETO defended the bill, and said it was one which would be attended with the best restitig t and for years ho did not think that Parliament had entertained a subject so beneficial to the army and navy as the one now before them. The motion had been considered in the kindest and most careful manner, the great object being to reform and make useful those which were a pest to society. The house then Went into committee on the bill, and the various clauses, with some verbal amendments, were agreed to, The bill as amended was then reported to the house.

The Queen has been graciously pleased to signify her in tention to confer the decoration of the Victoria Cross on the undermentioned officer of her Majesty's Indian forces, whose claim to the same has been submitted for her Ma jesty's approval, for his gallant conduct during the opera tions at Uznbeyla, on the North-Western frontier of India, as recorded against his nan_e ; viz. : Lieutenant Henry William Pitcher, Adjutant, 4th Pun jab Infantry —For the daring and gallant manner in which, in the course of the recent operations against the frontier tribes, on the 30th October, 1563, he led a party of his regiment to recapture the Crag ticket, after its garrison had been driven in by the enemy—on which occasion 60 of them were killed in desperate hand to hand fighting. From the nature of the approach to the top of the Crag amongst the large rocks, one or two men only could advance at one time; "and while I ascended one path," relates Major Keyes, commanding tha Ist Punjab Infantry, " I directed Lieutenant Fosbery, of the late 4th European Regiment, to push up another, at the head of a few men. Ile led this party with the greatest coolness and intrepidity, and was the first man to gain the top of the Crag, on his side of the attack. Lieu tenant Pitcher, equally cool and daring, led a party of men up to the last rock, until he was knocked down and stunned by a large stone thrown from above, within a few yards of him. Lieutenant Pitcher also displayed great gallantry in loading on a party of his regiment to endeavour to recover the Crag Picket, when it again fell into the enemy's hands, on the 13th of November, as related in the following ex tract from Major Keyes' report of the 16th of that mouth :—" Tho duty of leading the first charge devolved upon Lieut. Pitcher, and I beg to bring to the special notice of the Brigadier-General Commanding, the admir able manner in which he performed this important duty. He was by many yards the foremost of his party, and the gallant bearing of this excellent young officer was the ad miration of all spectators, It is impossible to say too much, or to overrate his services on this occasion. Lieutenant Pitcher was severely wounded, and was obliged to be carried back." LONDON GAZETTE,—This Evening, DOWNING STREET, Juaez 16. The Queen has been pleased to appoint the Ven.

Marshal the Duke of Cambridge. attended by Col. Clifton, aide-decamp, and accompanied by Sir J. Y. Scar lett, K.C.8., Adjutant-General, and Col, the Hon. Percy Herbert, Depuiy Quartermaster-General, visited Alder ehott camp on Friday, and inspected tha division on the common in rear of the Pv.)yal Pavilion. On the conclusion of the marching past, which was performed with admirable precision, the troops were distributed with a view to check the advance of an enemy from the direction of Farnham, over the bold eminence known as Hungry-hill. Several reconnoisances were made, and the enemy was found in strong force. The cavalry then returned, and the Heavy Brigade, under command of Col. Griffiths, comprising the 2d Life Guards, the 6th Dragoon Guards, and the Scots Greys, with the Royal Horse Artillery, formed on the right of the infantry, while the Light Brigade formed on the left. In the meantime the infantry was formed into two lines, with a battery of Royal (Artillery on the flanks of each bri gade. The 2d battalion 60th Rifles formed the advance line, extending in skirmishing order, Gen. Russell's bri gade, the second, and General Bates's the third. As a sig nal to commence the fight a gun was fired from a hill to the south, and in quick response the Rifles threw in a well sustained fire, aided by the Royal Artillery. While the disposition of the force was being completed, the infantry lay down until the enemy shewed himself more conspicu ously, when the Rifles ceased their fire, the' skirmishers fell back in good order, and General Russell's brigade came into action, pouring in a rattling fusillade, aided by a tre mendous and continuous fire from the artillery. This I overwhelming attack had the effect of checking the ad vance of the enemy, and a change in the position of the cavalry and infantry was made under cover of the con tinuous fire, and the Rifles again extended and advanced to the front. The enemy apparently anxious to secure the splendid position of Caesar's camp, on the left, had weak ened his right, and shewed the main body of his troops against this strong eminence and the centre of our line. The Duke perceived the error of his antagonist, and rapidly prepared to take advantage of it. The Heavy Ca valry Brigade wheeled round to the left rear of the infantry and took ground to the eastward with the Light Brigade. Gen. Russell's brigade retired and took ground to the loft by open column of companies. These movements brought the whole strength of our army to bear on the right flank of the enemy, and the cavalry harassed him by some brilliant charges, while Gen, Bates's brigade and the battery of artil lery attached to it directed a sharp attack upon his right. Gen. Russell's brigade formed on the right of Gen. Bates's, and a greatly extended front exhibited itself to the half-dis comfited enemy. The firing was simultaneously renewed along the whole line, and soon the confusion of the enemy became a complete rout, and his broken columns retired in disorder from the field. The infantry regiments were then ordered to return to their quarters, which they reeched about 12 o'clock, together with the Royal Artillery. The cavalry and Royal Horse Artillery, after advancing on to Hungry and Bricksbury Hills, were ordered to return to the plains by separate routes. Descending the hills from various points, the whole deployed into a line, a cloud of skirmishers covering what was intended to exemplify a slow retreat. In this order the cavalry and artillery returned to quarters, which they reached about 2 o'clock, thus terminating the proceedings of a day more than usually brilliant and inte resting.

In the trial of the steel plate at Portsmouth yesterday, it was found to be :left, fibrous, and without any exhibition of cracks beyond the circumference of the indents made by the shot except in one instance, and then only to the extent of four inches. There was also but a very trifling opening of the lamination at the edges of the plate, and one shot that struck the plate on its lower edge spread the metal out considerably without crack ing. The specific gravity of the plate was stated to be 7'655, and its cost from £lO to £l5 per ton in e xcess of the price now being paid by the Admiralty for wrought iron plates. being t hacra:tithhueti eenl The diameter of the indents produced on it by single shot was 9in, and the depths of the indents from tin to 2 8-lOths.
